I don't know why you keep talking about "the big dog." It's really a
meaningless phrase.
I don't think there's anyone in the gov't who actually believes that
we'll have a western-style democracy there. They can certainly have a
functioning gov't.
But of course this is all Obama's fault, right?
Obama has nothing to do with it nor did Bush. Even Bob admits these
are tribal societies who are incapable of having anything but
continual civil war.
There was a guy on Charley Rose the other night quoting McCrystal.
Basically he said we can't catch and kill our way out of this problem.
The Taliban quickly replaces their fallen leaders and we are really at
war with their birth rate. These people are not advancing any real
complex agenda. A leader is anyone who will stand up and say "follow
me".
You claimed that Obama isn't doing anything differently than Bush.
That's untrue. So either he does or doesn't have something to "do with
it." Pick one.
Also, I think you're giving much less credit to the Afg'y people than
they deserve. Most people in Afg. are not Taliban, so there's no
"birth rate" problem.
